[@vijai3]

For my innocent beautiful mom always.... If there was more people like you in this world, it would be truly beautiful... I can wait until I can see you again.... Thank you and Mrs. Losseau for the happiest years of my life... Those days are far gone forever....

[@lonestarlonewolf]

Oh man I love listening to artists whose voice sound exactly the same both live and in music videos

[@vijai3]

For my innocent mom always... I will miss you till I die... You were an actual Angel... You were so good and beautiful... You were the most decent person bar none...

[@donc.123]

_Have NEVER heard an artist who can switch in and out of falceto like this guy. Amazing._

[@nicokojima4214]

IKR!!!

[@Dave_Albright]

Freddie Mercury? Axl Rose?

[@strikingmaverick9071]

Zayn Malik

[@ondrasikarchive7573]

Purest falsetto in music. No wonder he was one of the lucky ones who made it all the way.

[@marifelesguerra2700]

It’s May 2022, been inspired after watching Blindside. This song bring so much hope and chances. There’s a lot of chance if you look on the positive side of life.

[@katiejane5378]

The Blind Side brought me here. Beautiful song and a beautiful movie ☺️👏🏼 xx

[@cragieful]

[@gracetan4341]

[@vijai3]

For my mom always... Living without you here is too painful... I miss you everyday... You were the only true angel... Hope to see you soon...

[@julieelliott4682]

This song makes me cry

[@tamra9396]

I think I listened to this 1k times.

[@MyriamLovesDrawing]

First video I saw from Five For Fighting, when I was in a Difficult period. Then I saw the rest of their songs, which are as good as this. I really adore it

[@timesuprepo2]

One of my favorite songs. Gods given me a lot chances. I’m grateful

[@cbc7348]

We are the Lucky Ones to hear this great man sing his music!

[@blkjock81]

He's just amazing as a live performer - almost always in tune...and his music is not easy sing in tune. "Chances" is a new level of sophistication in his band's sound, and showcases his vocal and melodic muscle. Yet at the same time it never lacks a voice that is emotionally thoughtful.

[@roylusby2564]

I didn't know other black guys love this song wow

[@RecantoSombrio]

This guy is a legend.

[@caalis1000]

The Blind Side - Original Soundtrack That's one beautiful movie also

[@eliraleng9714]

My favorite song.... Amazing voice.... Wow!!! Respect 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@stuartchilds8644]

Superb voice.... quality. Love acoustic music, so real!!!

[@scwhdw]

just saw Mr. Ondrasik in concert at Ravinia. Spectacular!

[@vijai3]

Peaceful yet inspiring song... Respect... For my mom always....

[@ttwillow9073]

I really enjoy this positive, uplifting song. Which is different for me. I always lean to the sad songs :)

[@springboard1994]

That was...Wicked Awesome! 🎸

[@vijai3]

For my mom... When you meet beautiful people be in awww.... When you meet sincere people be respectful... When you meet decent people keep them close... When you meet amazing people smile... When you meet someone with all above... well I call her mom...

[@shawnmteamo1]

shawn michaels, mr. wrestlemania, the heart break kid, the legend! is the best wrestler of world!

[@vijai3]

For my mom... And Mrs. Losseau... Thank you both... For when I was 26 to 29... It's was fun... It's was beautiful... It's was amazing...

[@sanbrasil]

Wonderful song and just perfect for the end of the "Blind Side" film!

[@scottsofardlair13]

That was one fine film so it was.

[@lisamiller3062]

Wow.....talent is oozing from this guys' pores. I absolutely LOVE this acoustic version of a very beautiful song! Wish I could play the guitar & sing like you, John!

[@Leia398]

amo essa música :) um sonho possível !

[@aodac269]

what a beautiful song

[@KingCarl77]

I never thought that John could improve on Chances, and then he just goes ahead and does. Don't get me wrong, I love, love, love the piano and full sound, but this is (to my ears) stellar.

[@flowerdeluna]

Love this song, excellent performance

[@jrichard1977]

I think this is 5-4-Fighting's best song to date. Love it!!!

[@d3viant18]

woa such a great voice even live. super duper great!

[@ThinlyCut90]

He sounds amazing live.

[@alaasharif]

Amazing, amazing performance... it brought shivers to my body and tears to my eyes... Thanks

[@shimadat87]

amazing voice.

[@augusto5218]

The chances of this meeting happening were rare, but in one stroke destiny totally changed my trajectory in that beautiful day ................. I found my happiness in a magical way !!!It was early spring and we were both walking down the same street,coming back after a long day at work, me going to university and she for the cram school(university), we cross our paths and our eyes.I felt something very strong (bigger than myself), a few meters aheadI went back and talked to her and I was sure that she had also felt the same (pure magic of destiny). We dated, got married, had kids, "kids" got married and we are together after more than thirty years.Our feelings were correct, that connection of looks was true love, strong enough to last a lifetime. I would make the same choice thousands of times in thousands of other lives! True love is a great and wonderful miracle !!! We will probably survive the whole route !!!!Congratulations , excellent video and music, must have something more inside heart to do a job at this level!

[@michaeldavis2585]

one great true artist five for fighting love the music god love five for fighting

[@Daeran101]

really great sound quality

[@matteastwood4261]

Fantastic x

[@alysiacerene]

This is just an awesome song, and the best version of it anywhere!

[@vijai3]

For my innocent beautiful mom always... Can't wait to see you soon walking strong and smiling... You gave my life peace, the only girl that ever did that... Your heart and mind was pure...

[@irmaluzliberatoascarruz1370]

Muy hermoso y muy cierto. Gran lección. Para aprender.

[@springboard1994]

Thank you for adding the translation!!

[@VengeanceBG]

hearing "chances" makes me shiver

[@naderhashemi555]

Simply brilliant. Thank you John !

[@iOSmkim]

This needs to be purchaseable alacarte via Apple iTunes. Acoustic versions is what I yearn for because apparently Five for Fighting's acoustic versions sound 33% cooler in my opinion--especially when you are monitoring his notes to keep your ears strengthened through an audio monitor (i.e. Etymotic Generation 2 ER4XR, Klipsch R-15PM).

[@macca2097]

Great song. Great performance. Period.

[@done9337]

simply put.

[@vijai3]

For my mom... If I died tonight I will smile... Since I was a little I wonder what was wrong with with some people... But you kept me going... you were my reason for living... You were my everything...

[@atrask0]

I

[@numayerhaque8618]

Wonderful voice

[@distortedmkwii]

HBK will never be forgotten. And he has recently signed a contract to the WWE!

[@judmarci]

I love the musics this band. Five for fighting is very good.

[@msara0050]

Incredible live voice, only John Ondrasik and Rob Thomas have quality live voices that are incessantly incredible, and great song writers.

[@TorTing1]

Thank you Shawn, you're my hero :D

[@cagednm69]

i get goosebumps listening to this.. and when HBK flashes on my mind :')

[@BabaTheKid]

love him.

[@adrndc]

Chances are when said and done Who'll be the lucky ones who make it all the way? Though you say I could be your answer Nothing lasts forever no matter how it feels today Chances are we'll find a new equation Chances roll away from me Chances are all they hope to be Don't get me wrong I'd never say never 'Cause though love can't change the weather No act of God could pull me away from you I'm just a realistic man, a bottle filled with shells and sand Afraid to look beyond what I can lose when it comes to you And though I'd see us through, yeah Chances are we'll find two destinations Chances roll away from me Still chances are more than expectations The possibilities over me Eight to five or two to one, lay your money on the sun Until you crash what have you done? Is there a better bet than love? What you are is what you bring. You gotta cry before you sing Chances, chances Chances lost are hope's torn out pages Maybe this time Chances are we'll be the combination Chances come and carry me Chances are waiting to be taken, and I can see Chances are the fascination Chances won't escape from me Chances are only what we make them and all I need

[@Azmariah03]

Yea man, I'm too heard from Shawn's HoF video, also when I hear Chances song every time, I say what Shawn Michaels said when I reach that part of the song. Really I like it>>

"making his way to the wring from San Antonio ,Texas, the heart break kid.... Shawn Michaels!"

[@JHaySWFL]

I don't like all of his music, but who can deny this is a great work of art!

[@dhienimhie1]

@mollyvital me too!! after i saw the movie i can't quit asking my friends the title of the song!! it's a really soothing song especially when you're lonely just think oof this " did michael give up?"

[@Trevor09Forrester]

I don't know if anyone else agrees but i believe he's better live then in the music video... all the notes he hits are clearer and beautiful live.. i think studios tht edit his songs arent good enough to handle this beautiful gift he has of singing..

[@Gimmick4Life]

I LOVE this song HBK HBK HBK

[@JethrusBah]

CHILE LOVES HBK TOO!!

[@vijai3]

You find truly beautiful people in this hell... Keep them, especially the female ones... Two women shape my life... One loved me and the other betrayed me... One was my heart and other made me think....

[@svendeddy3]

"Making his way to the ring from San Antonio Texas He is The Heart Break Kid"
